Chapter 423
Tracy snorted disdainfully. “Oh, give me a break! Stop using Mr. Blanchet to intimidate me! Mr. Blanchet was supposed to be Sheila’s man, if it wasn’t for you stirring up trouble, Sheila could have been the real Mrs. Blanchet by now!”
Every time this topic came up, it got Tracy and Sheila all riled up.
Ellinor was utterly baffled by the bizarre self–confidence of this mother daughter duo. They still stubbornly believed that Theo initially intended to marry Sheila?!
Theo’s taste wasn’t that tacky
At that moment, Arnold, who had just woken up from his nap, yawned and came downstairs.
Hearing the commotion at the front door, Arnold strolled over to check it out.
The moment he saw who it was, his face twisted in anger, “Ellinor, it’s you! You have the nerve to show your face here!”
Ellinor saw that Arnold’s face was full of bruises, looking beaten up and pathetic.
She recalled that these injuries were from when Arnold followed Tracy and Sheila to the Blanchet villa to show off, only to be dragged out and given a sound beating by the Blanchets servants before being let go.
“Yeah, I’m back, and I don’t see why I shouldn’t.”
Arnold glared at Ellinor and ground his teeth in rage.
He strode forward, brushed Tracy and Sheila aside, and pointed threateningly at Ellinor.
“You’ve got some nerve coming back! You deliberately had the Blanchet’s servants kick me out and beat me up that day, I swear I’ll kill you today!”
With that, Arnold raised his hand and swung it hard towards Ellinor’s face.
However, his raised hand was easily caught by Ellinor and held firmly in her grasp.
“Mr. Arnold, cool your jets. How about we sit down and have a calm conversation?”
This wasn’t the first time Arnold had tried to hit Ellinor. But in the past, Ellinor never doubted that Arnold was her father, so she always gave him some respect.
When faced with such a slap, she would typically dodge Arnold’s hand, not wanting to get hit and not wanting to embarrass Arnold
But today, for the first time, Ellinor caught Arnold’s hand, holding his wrist tightly in her grasp, with no trace of respect for her father on her face.
Arnold, who was middle–aged and rather robust, prided himself on his strength, but his hand was firmly gripped by Ellinor, unable to pull away or swing down.
He was shocked
Where did Ellinor get this strength from? Was this the same useless girl he used to consider a nuisance?
At this moment, Ellinor’s action completely shattered his dignity as a father. Arnold was enraged and embarrassed, “Ellinor, you’re rebelling! This is outrageous; how dare you lay a hand on your father?!”
Ellinor calmly held his wrist, speaking unhurriedly, “Mr. Arnold, calm down. I have some questions for you, and I need you to answer them honestly. If your answers are truthful, then I might consider not reclaiming those things!”
Arnold was speechless.
So Ellinor come for the wedding gifts from the Blanchet family?!
He didn’t want to give up the valuable gifts from the Blanchet family either, as they were the first real treasures he had ever seen in his life
